Re: [whatwg/fullscreen] Exiting full screen should unlock screen orientation (Issue #202)

> And presumably it should restore the orientation the device had before going fullscreen? I guess that's a thing we need to store somewhere as part of requesting.

Did some testing and it (Chrome at least) actually doesn't. It "unlocks" and always retains the current orientation. So, if you exit fullscreen in "landscape-*", you stay in "landscape-*
.  Same with "portrait-*". 

What's interesting with "portrait-secondary" is that is unlocks, and then allows the user to change to "portrait-primary", but then the user can't manually go back to "portrait-secondary". I guess this is due to platform conventions on this particular phone. I don't imagine a tablet would exhibit such behavior.
